Everton’s prospective owners 777Partners today made an 11th-hour payment of £16million to enable the club to pay next month’s wages.
Mail Sport has learned that the latest tranche of funding from the Miami-based private equity firm had been expected at Goodison Park last Friday, but still had not been received this morning, leading to fears that Everton may not be able to pay all their staff salaries.
Everton sources told Mail Sport that no payments from the club to either staff of external contractors such as building firm Laing O’Rourke have been missed, but it is understood there were genuine concerns at the club earlier this week.
Sources at 777 confirmed the £16m injection had been made
